BIAS SOAP Profile and TC History Lesson

Cathy Tilton – DaonChair, BIAS Integration TC

17

In the beginning …

In reviewing the biometric-related standards portfolio and service oriented architecture (SOA) references, it became apparent that a gap existed in the availability of standards related to biometric services.

Biometric Applications Biometric Resources

?

18

The time was right - • Biometric systems and customers are becoming more sophisticated

– Increased interest in and utility of biometrics• Government & commercial, but mostly driven by the

former at present– Large, complex systems– Enterprise architectures built on the SOA model & standards– Emphasis on data sharing & reuse of resources/services– The need for vendor independence, multiple sources

• Departure from custom solutions• Embracing of open systems, standards

– New requirements for interoperability and flexibility

19

Context – Biometrics in the Cloud

XML

SOAP

System Context• Example Applications

– Border management– Credentialing– Customer/subscriber

identification• Example Resources

– A fingerprint verification matching server

– A 1:N iris search/match engine– A facial biometric watch list– A criminal or civil automated

fingerprint identification system (AFIS)

– A name-based biographic identity database

– An archive of biometric identifiers

– A population of subjects

BIAS Services• Subject

– Create/delete subject– Add/remove subject from gallery

• Biographics– Set/list biographic data– Update/delete biographic data– Retrieve biographic data

• Biometrics– Set/list biometric data– Update/delete biometric data– Retrieve biometric data

• Searching/processing– Verify subject– Identify subject– Check quality– Classify biometric data– Perform fusion– Transform biometric data

• Aggregate services– Enroll– Identify– Verify– Retrieve information

• Asynchronous results retrieval

Discovery Query Capabilities

26

Status• INCITS 442:2010, BIAS

– Defines requirements, operations, data elements– Submitted to ISO – Project 30108

• OASIS BIAS SOAP Profile– Approved as OASIS Standard

• https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#biasv1.0

• Implementations (Statements of Use)• NIST has created a reference implementation

– http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/upload/BIAS_20110916.zip– http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/bias/201201/msg00003.html

– DoD: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/bias/201201/msg00004.html– Viometric: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/bias/201201/msg00000.html

27

Limitations of current TC• Narrow scope of charter

– Most OASIS TCs are ‘single project’ focused– Modifying charter = rechartering– Rechartering ~ creating new TC

• BIAS project completed– Ongoing maintenance required

• e.g., revision to sync with ISO version of base standard (30108-2)– Liaisons with INCITS & ISO– Potential related projects

• e.g., REST implementation

• Plans going forward• Declare victory!• Wrap up the TC – transition work to new TC with broader scope

31

WS-Biometric Devices• Command & control biometric devices (sensors) via web

services (WS)• REST-inspired

– Resource based– Server maintains state– XML over HTTP

• “Rough” prototype demonstrated at BCC 2010• Reference application demonstrated at the NIST booth at

this BCC• Specification released “early and often”

– Five versions of specification released between January 2011 and March 2012

– Comments received and incorporated throughout the lifecycle

32

WS-Biometric Devices• SBIR Phase I award for the topic WS-Biometric

Devices (WS-BD) Conformant Handheld Fingerprint Sensor– Fulcrum Biometrics, LLC– SBG Labs

• Next Steps– “Class” specific profiles– Prescriptive security guidance– Streaming for live prevew

Possible New Work Items & Discussion• WS-Biometric Devices• BIAS SOAP Profile

– REST?• XCBF

35


36

Question & Answer• OASIS participation• Scope of the new TC• Participation in the new TC

37


38

Call for Participation• Asserting participation does not mean

– Participation is binding

• It does mean– You/organization supports the creation of the new

committee– You/organization may participate in TC activities

• Will reach out to participants to provide updates on the TC’s creation and status
